Howdy Folks,

To remove some confusion on this visit <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.npr.org/help/rss-faq.html" target="_blank">http://www.npr.org/help/rss-faq.html</a>

This is talking, yet again, about more surplus window dressing added to what
can be done with plain ol' well coded 3.2 HTML. Every time you add
unnecessary enhancements, you end up losing customers. Keep your web pages
simple and compatible with all browsers if you want to sell products and
services.

If you must have a Cadilac (when a Ford gets you to the grocery store more
efficiently) as an ego trip and you don't mind parting with a percentage of
your sales, go for it!

Drop by <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://theparisapartment.com" target="_blank">http://theparisapartment.com</a> if you'd like to see an example of a
very classy looking web site with "HTML 3.2 Final" as the DocType. Try it
minimized to 640 and see what happens. See if you can find any Java script.
